Description:Excerpt from Abraham Lincoln: An Address On all fit occasions, ever since his untimely taking off, the people have been paying tribute to the memory of Mr. Lincoln. This is well. The great and good souls who from century to century take their places and act their parts in the movements of society both deserve and repay a thorough and reverent study. Outside the things which concern the relations of man to his Maker, few objects are more rewarding than the careful contemplation of the lives and characters of those who brought large endowments with them into the world and then used their powers for the exaltation of humanity. Whether found in the ranks of art or literature, of science or statesmanship, of exploration or war, of church workers or social reformers, large, strong men, morally excellent men, epoch-making men, always furnish an inspiration and distil a wisdom which amply repay the most thorough investigation of their minds and movements. Mr. Lincoln was both great and good; and he was the pivot on which turned mighty events. In the providence of God, no other man of the generation to which he belonged was permitted to do so much as he towards giving shape to public affairs and advancing the rights of man and conserving the interests of liberty and union. Mr. Choate, our Ambassador to England, has said that the figure of Mr. Lincoln will stand out a thousand years from now as conspicuous as it does at the present time. This is more than probable. This great emancipator of the slave and martyr to his fidelity to the integrity of the Republic belongs to the class whom the ages fondly cherish. Not as a secondary orb, but as a star of the first magnitude, he will shine forever in the firmament of the world's illustrious and honored heroes. So far as personal qualities in the make-up of Mr. Lincoln are concerned there are two which deserve to be especially emphasized. One of them is the extraordinary mental gifts which he possessed. He was not a precocious financier like Hamilton. He was not a political theorizer like Jefferson. He was not a profound jurist like Marshall. He was not an all-around philosopher like Franklin. He was not an erudite scholar like the younger Adams.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
